Winter / off-cycle internships?
Does anybody know any firms that offer formal off-cycle or winter internship programs? I'm graduating from undergrad in December and have some time off from January to July and am looking for something relevant (banking, valuation, PE, corp dev, etc)
Yes I plan on cold-calling and reaching out to places but wanted to check if there are also more formal channels to go through. Thanks.
BB banks offer these programs to kids from schools like Dartmouth, who have a unique curriculum structure. You can try to talk to HR, see if you can get in on one of those programs.
There is no chance you will get into one of the Dartmouth 10-week programs. (I know this site encourages perseverance, but really, don't waste your time.) If you're at MIT, they run one-month externships at some of the banks.
Most banks run off-cycle internships.
^That's only true in Europe.
Any other input? No luck so far.
Yes. I'm a December graduate as well so I'm going to have around 6 months with nothing to do.
I'd love to do something fun like travel but don't have the cash so I'm looking for something relevant that might help me further down the line.
Cold-call; nothing wrong with it. Last summer (sophomore summer), I cold-called quite a few firms and got a nice summer gig (M&A advisory).
Things to note: - I have a decent GPA (3.75) - I knew how to model before (read Rosenbaum & Pearl)
Good luck. There is a WSO thread with firms in a lot of major cities, find it, start calling.
^ Already been doing that - I'm also looking for more formal opportunities right now.
BMO Capital Markets offers a winter program... http://www.bmocm.com/aboutus/careers/campusrecruiting/full-time/interns…
[quote=bluehorshoe]BMO Capital Markets offers a winter program... http://www.bmocm.com/aboutus/careers/campusrecruiting/full-time/interns…]
Seems to be Canada only unfortunately. No luck with cold e-mails so far, anybody else have any leads?
As someone who goes to Dartmouth, I could tell you that these off-cycle internships are amazingly competitive. The kids that get Goldman/JP Morgan/Morgan Stanley in their winter internships all have a 3.9+ GPA and a prior internship freshman year. 2 kids actually got Blackstone PE winter internships but apparently one worked at Barclay's freshman summer and the other at LEK consulting.
Also another thing is that banks don't give out full time offers on these junior winter internships. They simply invite you to come back and work junior summer as well.
Still on this grind. Got a few responses from firms that liked me reaching out but then things went cold when they asked for my GPA (3.1).
Anybody in a similar position?
If I have a BB internship after freshman year but im at a non-target is there anything i can do to try and take advantage of this opportunity?
I-Banking Internship for Winter Term (Originally Posted: 09/04/2007)
Hi all, I was looking for an I-banking internship for the winter term, from about mid december till the end of March. I was wondering if a) I-banks typically have interns for this time and b) How to best approach i-banks about potential internships for the winter term. Thanks
I know some friends at Dartmouth that used their D-Plan option to work at firms during the winter, so yeah I suppose they exit. They just are not publicly advertised, and you prob should contact HR at various banks.
Yup it's there. Good thing about it is that it's a hell of a lot less competitive than summer. Bad thing is that it isn't advertised like the above poster said.
I did a winternship. VERY helpful in landing a full-time gig.
hey...where is the best place to start looking for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience and therefore not a lot of contacts?
As mentioned, these positions are very much unadvertised, you'll need to network and develop contacts to get an offer
Off-cycle Internships? Winter Internships? (Originally Posted: 09/11/2013)
Contrary to my username, I don't actually go to Dartmouth!
I'm currently a senior graduating this December (one semester early) from a top 10 school and already have a FT job lined up at GS/MS IBD. I'd like to use my free semester next semester (from January to May) to explore a different area within finance since I've basically signed away the next two years of my life to investment banking. Ideally, I'd like to follow the PE/HF path after two years in banking.
Few questions:
1) How do Dartmouth students find internships during the winter / off-cycle season (Jan-May)? Are they mostly attained through networking or does Dartmouth have a formal recruiting process for winter candidates?
2) What kinds of firms typically offer off-cycle internships? Would it be reasonable for me to reach out to mid-large private equity firms, hedge funds, or BBs? Places like Bridgewater, Silver Lake, MS, BAML seem to have hired winter interns from Dartmouth but I'm not sure whether this would be possible for someone who doesn't go to Dartmouth.
3) Are these off-cycle internships only offered to Dartmouth students? Would I have a chance if I did some aggressive networking? Would they be reluctant to hire a senior who has already signed for a full-time job?
I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do with the time that I have next semester and would really appreciate any advice or suggestions you guys might have. Thanks so much in advance.
BUMP
Yeah exactly you have already signed your next two years away...I think you should just chill out and enjoy your last free semester brah...srsly rage fuckin tits.
Not too late for fall internships if you're interested in that.
Go volunteer and/or teach
Why are you so interested in Dartmouth if you don't go there? And why the hell would you want to intern when you'll be working in IB next summer?
Of all the things that you can do before you start working, you want an internship? I can't how imagine how one dimensional your personality is. How about enjoying your time? Travel? Develop a hobby? Spend a few months with your best friends before you move into the business world? Volunteer?
Do something socially rewarding. It'll probably balance you out a little. And in terms of MBA admissions, if you were to travel the world for a few months and volunteer in remote locations, I can promise you will stand out much greater than if you were to do an internship.. in finance... before your job... after you graduated.
A friend of mine was in a similar situation last fall. He raduated Dec 2012 and started a full time gig at top firm this summer. Here's what he did that I think is a good use of time:
Take the GMAT: Your score counts for 5 years so if you decide to go to b-school it will still count. You'll also never have this much time to study again
Read a lot and learn new skills: You have free time. Explore what you're interested in
Hang out: Enjoy your last semester of college. Other than maybe b-school you'll never have as much freedom to go out as often ever again
I also have a number of friends from Dartmouth; I remember wondering why I saw on their/their friends' LinkedIn these 'winter analyst' positions at bulge bracket banks, top boutiques, or private equity firms.
As far as I know from talking to two of them, there is a limited number of positions posted through their career site. In general, it's done through networking. As you can imagine, a lot of these kids come from privileged backgrounds (Exeter > Dartmouth (frat, lax, the usual suspects) and it was a matter of their father calling some friends to get them placed.
These positions aren't common, and you have to basically push them to give you a slot. Blackstone has historically taken a kid every year or two for a winternship, usually a sophomore or junior into M&A or PE. M&A is not doing that this year, I don't know about PE. Restructuring has never done it, as far as I'm aware. Bear, Lehman, and Merrill did this a lot as well, from what I've seen on LinkedIn. Interestingly though, I haven't seen their acquirers continuing the practice.
I haven't seen it done at HFs, probably for the simple reason that you could add almost no value. In banking (and by extension, PE) you can be helpful just for process work, but in public market investing there isn't as much of that 'format these pages perfectly, turn these comments, process these documents please' type of work.
To your point about only Dartmouth having these opportunities, I don't think it's true. The real theme seems to be schools operating on the quarter system or schools with a defined co-op element. Stanford, Dartmouth, Northwestern, and even some of the technical schools in Jersey have placed kids in these programs. When your school operates on three terms per academic year, you can take one of them off and fill it with an off-cycle position.
Hope this helps, happy to answer anything further if I can.
Now for some unsolicited advice. Don't actually do this. If you're graduating a semester early (I was also a January grad), take some time to do something entirely unrelated. You will never again have this much freedom of time and responsibility again in your life. You may have the freedom of time again, but not the freedom of responsibility. Go travel somewhere; see an unfamiliar nation or a new part of this massive country of ours. Meet new people, make new friends, see new things, taste new foods, hear new music, go out and live life. Once you accept the golden handcuffs of this promising career and find yourself shackled behind your desk at 3am (looks at self), you aren't going to have the opportunity to do so again.
Winter Internships in Finance? (Originally Posted: 07/05/2011)
Hey guys,
I am going to be a junior this year in Finance. I only have 33 more required hours so I am considering my options in terms of graduation. I basically have a semester to play around with. I was wondering if I could get some help compiling a list of companies that offer winter internships. By winter I mean the spring semester. I know companies such as the Big 4 offer winter Audit internships. However I am currently just a Finance major and am wondering if any major companies in the Chicago area offer such an opportunity.
Any companies out there?
Thanks!
Interested in this too
JP Morgan does some....however, I think these are in Europe...Same with GS....check out their career websites for more info...I think you would be better off looking for boutiques in Chicago.....
Put in some work and search for boutiques in your area - there are plenty of them. With a strong GPA and relevant coursework/technical knowledge (you should have it as a finance major), you should be in good shape to cold call and/or cold email and land something, even if unpaid.
For a winter internship, the name isn't as important as just getting quality relevant experience. If you can get the name, of course that's great, but given the scarcity of big names for winter internships, you will also strengthen your candidacy by landing something relevant from a boutique
when would be a good time to start looking for these internships? & what do you suggest doing, just cold calling boutiques? or asking recruiters about spring opportunities?
Winter Break Internship (Originally Posted: 11/08/2010)
I have six weeks of winter break this year and would like to do something productive. While I would love to work at a well known bulge bracket/middle market/boutique investment bank, I know this is a little unrealistic for winter break. There are a lot of very small boutique shops near my hometown (Chicago) and am hoping somebody has advice on how to approach them for an unpaid internship.
Questions:
Should I email or call them asking to set up an interview?
I would like to have Christmas Day and one other day off for personal reasons. I need to be out of town for other networking/professional development events for a total of six days over break as well. How do I go about bringing this up (right off the bat in a cover letter/phone call, during the interview, after the interview)?
Any other general advice would also be greatly apreciated.
Sincerely, VanillaThunder12
I'm really curious about this, too. My resume is seriously lacking in any type of finance experience and, even if it's only a few weeks, an internship at a boutique would help.
If an alumni, email, otherwise call.
To be honest though, six weeks (especially if you're gonna subtract another week for the holidays) is way too short... I have doubts that they're gonna want to take you on for that short of a time.
I would look for a part-time internship during school instead.
Winter Internships in NYC? (Originally Posted: 10/19/2015)
Are there any firms that hire interns for about 1-2 months from December to January?

You may find some, its short notice now but try reaching out to alumni and boutique shops. EMPHASIZE it being unpaid and your passion for the field.
Winter Internships (Originally Posted: 05/13/2014)
Hi all,
I am just curious as to which companies hire for the winter. I know companies do, but its more on the down low. Any advice would be great
Don't know what kind of jobs you're looking for but Bloomberg has winternships posted on their careers site.
probably should have been more specific. Looking for analyst intern position in really any part of an IB. I will definitely check out Bloomberg.
Winter/Break Internships (Originally Posted: 03/05/2011)
Is it common for places to offer 1 month internships in between Fall and Spring semesters? Do any BB's offer them? I'm sure for boutiques it'll be easier? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
Not 1 month no. 8-12 weeks they do offer them. Shorter than that, they'll do externships.
Doesn't really happen frequently. I might try something unpaid, maybe shadowing a solid connection/family friend?
Seriously though, try to enjoy the holidays with your family. A ~5 week internship is not going to make or break recruiting, and you probably won't be able to spend the holidays with your family once you start working.
Thanks for the input but I don't have any professional experience so I was thinking that would be a good thing to add before I drop a resume for a SA position. Or will not that have much weight?
Well, try getting a PWM or other entry level position for this summer. You have much better odds of successfully doing that than getting a winter internship next year. It will count for more too.
Winter Internship - Junior and wondering how common it is to work over winter (Originally Posted: 07/11/2008)
I'm going to be a junior this year and I was wondering how common it is to get a one month winter internship in finance? Obviously next summer is the big time to get an internship, but I feel like if possible a relevant internship this winter could really give me an edge being that I have no finance job experience thus far (I'm doing a marketing internship this summer). I'm keeping my options open between banking and possibly TAS at Big 4, so how common is a winter internship in these careers? I checked Deloitte's website and apparently the offer a few TAS winter internships, how competitive are these positions and what are they like?
Thanks
I would really like to know about this too. I'm in a similar situation.
any thoughts guys? worthwhile or a waste of time? i guess at the very least you could add to your network?
I'm not sure you can get just a one-month internship. A bunch of the banks offer "winternships" that usually last 3 or 3.5 months. From what I've seen, they are mostly offered to the Dartmouth kids who have that funky plan which allows them to take off the winter or spring.
What about something at a bank branch location making investment proposals, client reviews, P&L statements? Clearly not IBD applicable, but any thoughts?
I guess its basically like one of those ML internships?
I had a winter internship in research, but it was abroad though. I can't say if that's possible here in the US
Winter internship at Deloitte would be for the duration of busy season (early Jan-mid March) and would be a full-time position, so unless you can swing that with your school its probably a no-go.
Winter Break's Internship Hunt (Originally Posted: 01/17/2015)
Now that the holidays are over, my extended family is gone and kids in my area are back in school. The thrill of being home has subsided with two responsibility-free weeks still ahead of me. After contemplating how I'm going to be spending the rest of my time at home, I finally decide to sit down in front of my laptop and desperately attempt to save myself from being jobless this coming summer.
I'm staring at the empty Google Sheet on my laptop screen with a blank expression. Where to begin...
Networking is weird. I dread the idea of it. How am I supposed to expect a seasoned professional to make room for some random college kid with zero finance experience just for the sake of "learning about his firm"? I can even feel anxiety come over me I mouse over the "Connect" button on LinkedIn profiles.
Yet, as I scroll through my connections and glance at my classmates' profile pictures with their suits and wide-eyed smiles, I can't help but wonder if they feel the same way.
I ignore the looming apprehension and decide to start filling my spreadsheet with potential contacts. I begin with my school's clunky alumni database. I decide to cast a wide net and search for just about any industry that would look somewhat appealing on a resume in the long-run.
I toy with a few different search options and scroll through the database. Consulting... VC... PWM... IBD? Now? Hell no.
I compile a list of small firms littered throughout Europe and Asia who might take a random kid willing to work for free. My spreadsheet tabs include: Name, Firm, Position, Area, Connection (in most cases, my school/class year/major), Email/Phone, and Contact Attempts. 26 names later, I'm ready to send emails.
This is where it gets tricky.
I have to be as up-front as possible because many of these people are located internationally. Not only do I have to be direct, but I also have to try to come off as competent and likable (which is a little hard to do when you're going so far as attaching your resume to the damn thing... But, hey, whatever works right?).
My template consists of two paragraphs:
I decide to go ahead and install Yesware before sending out the emails to make me feel a bit better about the imminent ignores and shutdowns.
I fill out each template after doing a little background research from their websites and finally send out emails to 5-7 firms. I would have liked to send out more but much of contact info from the alumni database is outdated and I avoid getting in touch with larger shops.
After a couple of days, Yesware tells me that about half of the emails I sent out have been opened but I still haven't receive any replies. I wait patiently and keep my fingers crossed.
A full week later, a little ray of hope shines through my inbox. An alum from the most desirable firm on my list replies: Dear B,
Thanks for the note. Good to hear from you.
Nice to see that you have come across _____. The company was sold to [BB] in 2007. Then they sold it to another bank shortly after. I am not sure what they have done with the original business though. The market for that specific industry has disappeared.
Now, I am back with one of the original firm's co-founders. The company is called _____ and is a small venture capital group based in the Bay Area.
If you are looking for a summer internship, this could be possible. Please take a look at the website and let me know if you have some interest. I'll put you in touch with the team.
Best Regards, L
Nice job yo
Woohoo! Good job man, happy for you.
you're a freshman, right? I've got a feeling you'll be the one giving out advice here in 4-5 years. kudos bro
gj dude! props!
As a freshman, I, too, have been shooting out a bunch of e-mails, no success yet. Not even a response.
Congrats on your secured (?) internship.
I've been doing the same - unfortunately it looks like a lot of summer 15 recruiting is already over after the holidays. At least here in Houston... I've had multiple banks get back to me and tell me that they've already had their super days/
Excellent write up and great outcome. Goes to show that the unexpected can happen when you put yourself out there.
Damn, congrats man! I'm just wondering, what did you ask him about? it seems like he was EXTREMELY impressed!
Just goes to show if you do the research and get organized, anything can happen. Great job and good write up!
A quickie on networking: This banking lists all their MD's, and the CEO's as Mr.'s, so that means I adress them as Mr's right?
Also, for cold calling/e-mailing do we just do associates and up? How long into their positions should they be?
On our first 15 minute phone call do we talk about casual stuff or do we generally ask the on topic questions, why this firm? so I see you cover this industry, but it seems to be a slow industry in terms of deal flow am I right? i notice you used to do alot of X and Y, do you still do any of that with the demanding schedule of the bank?
Deleted.
Hope this helps.
Winter Internships (When, How) (Originally Posted: 08/15/2010)
When do you start applying for winter internships?
How long do they last?
Any notable ones (particularly in trading)
Some bank websites talk about off cycle internships, but they are usually off the books and its not like you will be in a structured program with loads of other interns. I suppose they could last any time frame, but Sept-Dec and Jan-May sound about right.
You need to do the normal networking and tell them that you are looking for a winter intenship and are available to work on XX days.

I did some searching around and most stuff was related to actual winter internships during the fall semester,

no lol and even if there were you would not gain any valuable experience from it
I think some actually do, but it wouldn't be worthwhile, especially only for a few weeks. Your time would be better spent travelling

IB Winter Internship (Originally Posted: 08/03/2011)
Hi guys,
I'm an international student at a non-target business school. I've been on the Dean's list since I started b-school and am intent on a career in IB. I am targeting a winter internship and am wondering which companies I am most likely to get a good response from (preferably in NY). Also with all the layoffs in the industry, do you think it's a good plan B to move into a specific sector ie. energy initially and then try move back to banking once you have some specific knowledge?
Thanks for the help!
Didn't really find any posted winter internships/externships on firms websites. How are you going about getting them? Mostly networking/career services?
winternships (Originally Posted: 03/29/2007)
which BBs have winternship programs?
I haven't heard of it before but if you can convince the right people, you might be able to do it + it is a function of work load. If you do it, I wouldn't expect too much.
I did one at a MM bank in SF for 4 weeks, had a blast and learned a lot since I was doing convertibles.
Banks don't do winternships in general- they will usually tailor it to a target school. JPMorgan has MIT winterns for 4 weeks who get offers for the 10 week summer internship. A lot of firms (Morgan Stanley, lehman, Citigroup, jpmorgan) also have full 10-week off-term internships for Dartmouth students in both the winter and spring - these interns receive full-time offers.
Winter internship - How to find one? (Originally Posted: 10/09/2009)
How would I got about finding a winter internship?
Boutiques are probably your best bets. It will be significantly easier if you live in a city. Hedge funds, asset management firms and some start-up PE/VC shops might also be possible. In all cases, I would advise reaching out directly to someone at the shop; either via email or cold-calling. Some BBs have winter programs, but those will generally only be available if you are at a target. If you are, they will be proactive about informing you of them.
I already have an offer to start full time next summer. Do you think this will decrease my chances of landing one?
Drexelalum is right, if you have a FT offer from the BB's or Boutiques they have non-compete's so no chance of you working anywhere else that is finance related
Winter Internships PWM (Originally Posted: 11/02/2010)
Hello,
I have read through the forums that obtaining an internship during the winter is a very informal process and that usually calling the Human Resources department of a bank will do the trick if you want to get an interview. Has anybody on the boards had experience in obtaining a PWM internship over the winter? Are PWM internships at BB's and MM's even offered during the year? If so how hard are they to obtain?
-Jaspah
Hello,
I would call boutiques in your area for winter IB internships. Try to get in contact with an associate if possible and go from there.
For private wealth management there are opportunities year round, so I would hunt a PWM and have one locked down. Then reach out to as many as banks you could and then if you dont get one you have PWM to fall back onto for a short time.
I WOULD START MY SEARCH ASAP
Seeking a winter internship: Hoping for some guidance... PWM or IB? (Originally Posted: 11/01/2011)
I'm a junior at a non-target who's had two internships already, one of them being finance related (BO at a BB). However, I feel my resume although very solid and aesthetically as good as it can be really lacks finance experiences.
So I've decided I will try pursuing a winter internship this winter break (granted, only 1 month but I think it'll be worthwhile for the name).
I thought about trying to obtain a PWM or IB - which would be better? Obviously, I suppose most people would say IB but I feel like this might actually hurt me come interviews when they might expect me to know better because I had a "Investment Banking Internship."
What do you guys think? If I get an IB internship it'll be with a regional no-name boutique (Washington DC area) or if I get lucky a reputable MM firm in this region. I'll be doing this winternship hunt strictly via networking. I do truly believe I can get something
IB's offer 1 month internships?
it would be complete no name regional boutiques. Probably will be unpaid if offered
1 month is not enough to learn anything substantial, so it would basically be for resume purposes. If you can land a solid IB internship then take that over PWM any day. But for the winter, either is probably fine.
thanks! more insights anyone?
Winternships? (Originally Posted: 10/13/2013)
Hi all. I am starting at a BB IB in Summer, and am a 5th year senior graduating in Fall. I wanted to pursue a wintership. Are there structured opportunities or unique opportunities that I would be able to pursue, or is my best bet brute force networking?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, it is called backpacking around Europe/Asia/LatAm. You will learn way more doing that than at an internship. You already got a BB IB gig, enjoy your free time while you can.
haha, seconded. listen man, relax and enjoy your life; you already secured one of the most sought-after positions on this board and possibly in all of finance. plenty of other things you could be doing during that time to round out your resume.

Just don't get sick.
Hi guys, thanks for the reply. I realize that I have options that are more leisurely. However, for context, I don't have much finance experience, and no banking experience either. Also, I am not in a financial position to travel for an extended period of time. I am open to suggestions like taking improv classes or pursuing some sort of creative work/project--but would like to see if there are any more structured options available. I have 8 weeks to decide what I am going to do for six months, so I want to make the right decision.
would appreciate more input.
Bartend to earn some money and have fun. Study finance material on the side (BIW, Pearl&Rosenbaum Investment Banking). Most internships will teach you little to nothing in the time and manner you are looking for.
Also, there is no "right" decision. If I were you, I'd go home and hang out with friends and family.
Thanks for the perspective guys. I will take the advice into perspective and keep an open mind.
Looking for winternships here as well.
Off cycle/Winter 2013 Internship (Originally Posted: 09/18/2012)
Hi all,
There are many banks that are implementing their cost cut plan and cutting jobs. With that being said, are there any banks in New York or Toronto that are hiring for an off-cycle internship during the Winter?
Would these opportunities be posted on their website or do you have to know someone inside the bank to get the positions.
Are you asking about an internship just for the winter? I've seen plenty of positions for the fall and spring. If you're in college, I would also use their career website and look on there as well.

Yeah looking for internships from January - April. Our career center do not have positions from BB. I was wondering if they had an off cycle internship program.
Maybe you want to look to London/Europe? Did one from January - April there.
Thanks - which firm did you work for? Do you know which firms usually have job openings? I've read articles of job cuts mostly in Europe
Winter Break Suggestions (Originally Posted: 06/17/2013)
I was curious as to the responses I would receive regarding how to make the most of the winter break vacation given during undergrad. I have an option of going to London to take a finance course and tour for 3-4 weeks, however, I believe that my time could be better utilized. I know that recruiting for FT and SA is going on during this time as well, so I have tried to keep this in mind. As I am trying to break into the industry, a couple of questions I have are:
Any other suggetestions/advice would be helpful, this is just to get a general ideal of what would benefit undergrads most. Also, this is specifically for juniors/seniors in undergrad.
I did a paid internship at an IM firm ($5B AUM) over my last winter break. I'm not sure what the over/under is for the amount of firms that actually offer stuff like that, though. My situation was unique in that I was only brought on because the firm had a project they didn't have the man power for.
Suggestions*-->good catch, DaisukiDayo
I spent my 5 week winter break during my 3rd year of undergrad at a boutique IB and worked on one deal that I was able to use as relative experience and land a SA position the immediate summer after.
I would strongly recommend cold calling/emailing local boutiques for winter positions if you do not have work experience and are looking for a SA position next summer. Smaller banks have key employees leaving for holiday trips and it was nice to have extra hands on deck to help with stuff.
Damn this is great advice. I'm currently going into my senior year and this summer am interning at a hedge fund in the city. When making these cold calls, do you think a paid offer is possible? Even though it's nothing I would love to spend my winter getting some experience while making even $15 or something an hour.
Senior year winter break (Originally Posted: 10/05/2010)
Say, that (1)this semester has more or less become an over-stretched summer vacation with minimal coursework and other activities whatsoever, and (2) I got a FT offer that will start in July next year.
Do you guys think that it is crazy for me to work this winter at a reputable HF in my area or other buy sides? Should I enjoy every second of my senior year(which I'm doing right now by the way), or are additional 6 weeks worth investing for my future career?
I know someone working at the firm in question and I might have a good shot as an (un)paid intern in Dec-Jan. I feel like I can learn a ton there, heard that environment is great, and the hours are not that bad comparing to BBs. And let alone the connections that might(or might not, doesn't actually matter to me at this point though) come handy couple years later.... what do you guys think?
take it, you'll have all of second semester to mess around
